Slate Posts Top-Secret Exit Polling Numbers 134
cmdr_beeftaco writes "Slate is running an ongoing commentary with the raw exit-poll data from the National Election Pool consortium owned by the Associated Press and the five television networks (CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and CNN) to their news divisions and to the newsrooms of NEP subscribers-big city newspapers and other broadcasters. 'The paid users of exit-poll data have signed a blood oath not to divulge it to unauthorized eyes, and the networks have promised not to call any states before their polls close. Slate believes its readers should know as much about the unfolding election as the anchors and other journalists, so given the proviso that the early numbers are no more conclusive than the midpoint score of a baseball game, we're publishing the exit-poll numbers as we receive them.'"

To the guy who stole my Kerry sign in the middle of the day: Congratulations, you've got yourself a nice sign.
Me: the guy I voted for is going to become the President.
Today is a really good day indeed. Hey buddy, Enjoy that fucking sign!

Any word on HULK, the Green Party Candidate? (Score:4, Funny)
HULK: 15,020 BUSH: 14,531 KERRY: 14,192
but it is open for voting (for the last night) in 2 hours.
But I don't see the Big Green Guy listed in Slate's numbers, so it doesn't bode well for Hulk for President [komar.org]

Speaking for myself, if someone I know (in real life, not the from the internet) asks me who I am for, I tell them it's not their business. If a pollster asks me, I am as likely to lie as I am to tell them I am not comfortable divulging my choice. I think if you are for Bush, you are probably a little more inclined to decline or lie. <flamebait> Probably something to do with the rabid hatred demonstrated repeatedly by some liberals.</flamebait>
